TEHRAN, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Sunday that it has hit with the missiles an Israeli intelligence base in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish regional capital Erbil.
The operation was in response to an Israeli airstrike on Syrian capital Damascus on March 7, in which two IRGC officers were killed, the IRGC said in a statement.
According to Iran's state TV, scores of the IRGC ballistic missiles hit "secret Mossad bases in Erbil" on Sunday morning, leaving several casualties from Israeli agents. ■
